Predicting The Cricket Match Outcome Using Crowd Opinions On Social Networks: A Comparative Study Of Machine Learning Methods

Abstract: Social media has become a platform of first choice where one can express his/her feelings with freedom. The sports and matches being played are also discussed on social media such as Twitter. In this article, efforts are made to investigate the feasibility of using collective knowledge obtained from microposts posted on Twitter to predict the winner of a Cricket match. For predictions, we use three different methods that depend on the total number of tweets before the game for each team, fans sentiments toward… Show more

“…Further, Twitter network features are exploited to extract informative links for users and to find the posting patterns of companies and their followers. Since the network size of Twitter is much smaller than Facebook [16], [17], we analyze our methodology with Twitter for simplicity and to lower the complexity.…”

“…For their first model, the success rate is 76.4%, and for the second model, the rate is 70.9%. Mustafa et al (2017) used social network data and applied machine learning techniques to achieve around 75% accuracy in predicting the outcomes. The body of work discussed above has, in most cases, segregated one day internationals and T20 matches as it is indeed difficult to use the same model to predict these two formats.…”
